Tho Diamond.


The decadence of the diamond daily
grows more marked. 1t has long been
a badge of vulgarity when worn by
men, and its indiscriminate use by
their own sex has brought it into dis
repute with women who are really fas-
tidious With anything else except an
object which confers distinction on its
possessor the greater its popularity,
the greater its triGmph, but the dia-
mond-once the most princely OF gems,
and the possession of which was al
most the unique privilege OF royalty
has lost its ascendency through its
very popularity as an article Of adorn-
ment, In our day it is in no sense
unique, nor are its associates such as
to give it distinction. 1t thrusts its
glitter on the eye in the street, i'll the
railroad car, in every public and un-
suitable place, and usually with
back ground of fairness and ugliness
which it only serves to bring into UNI
pleasant prominence.
When a human being makes one
thing an ambition, and turns every
effort to the realization of that ambi-
ton, it is pretty certain of accomplish
ment With many women the posses
sion of pair of solitaire diamonds is
the one thing in life desired and to be
secured. The realization of the ambi-
ton may come late, but, young or old,
the woman who has comprised her
object is so proud in that fact that she
does not propose to hide the light OF
her diamonds under bushel, with the
result that she brings discredit on her
self and on what she considers her
most valuable possession.
The love Of the gem itself, although
savoring of childishness and of the
barbarous tastes which still survive in
civilized humanity, is one thing; tho
love of displaying the diamond in pub
lie, another. There are women, and
men, too, who have mania for dia-
monds almost like that of the miser
for gold. They love the glitter and
sparkle and delight to feast their sight
and touch on the precious baubles.
But these are not the people who ilaunt
their treasures in the gaze of the pub
lie. 1t is the better half of the lucky
Spectator, the matrimonially pro-
noted shop girl, the gamblers lady"
and the obese wife of the retired pawn
broker, who never feel entirely clothed
unless somewhere on their person
scintillates the ever present diamond.
The wearer may be somewhat down at
the heel and out at the elbow, and a
thorough acquaintance with soap and
water may never have been included
in her experience, but the diamond
atones for all In our time the burden
of yulgarity is too great for the queen
of gems, and in cultured estimation
she sinks beneath the weight. -Net

a New Puzzle.

Mrs. Blanchard was entertaining
some friends in the parlor one evening
when she heard small voice she knew
so well saying: please excuse me,
mamma" Then she saw little figure
standing in the doorway in a long
white gown, with tangled curls and
bright eyes, too bright for 10 o'clock
at night, thought Mrs. Blanchard.
Midget ran across the room to the
refuge that had never failed her
mothers arms. Mamma, dear, !"
pleaded the little night owl, II just
learned to-day how TO tell you love
you in such beautiful new way.
Please, may / show you? I'm so 'fraid
I'll forget by morning" Midget held
up her dimpled fingers. Now, every
body do JUST as do" she said, glee-
fully. Hold your thumbs together
so, now the next fingers the same way,
but the next to that you must double
in tight"
She held her chubby fingers in this
position, the palms together, the
thumbs lightly touching, also the fore
fingers, but the second fingers folded
in so that her rosy nails and the dim
pies that stood for knuckles touched,
then the third and fourth fingers met
at the tips as the thumbs and forefn-
gers did. New" cried Midget, in
great delight. chow far can you 90
from the nursePa AID she parted the
thumbs as far rs they would go.
New, how far from the cookP" and
the forefingers went apart.
Then in suppressed glee she care
fully explained, You must skip the
folded fingers and go to the next.
Now how far can you go from your
dear, sweet mammal" she cried in
great triumph. And odd it was that
those queer little fingers would not
separate and the more you tried the
closer they were, not Midget's tiny
fingers, but papa's strong ones and
Judge Mills wrinkled ones. AS long
as the second fingers are held in bond
age the third ones will not separate.

Illogical.

She stood beside me while gave an order for
a bonnet;
She shuddered when said: "And put bright
birds wing upon 1t.
A member OF the Audubon Society was she,
And cutting were her comments upon world
ly foibs like me.
She spoke about the helpless birds we wick
eddy were harnng;
She quoted statistics, and they really were
alarming.
She said God made His little birds to sing In
trees and skies;
And there was pathos in her speaking, and
tears were In her eyes.
20, surely In this beauteous world you can
find lovely things
Enough TO trim your hats" she said, without
the dear birds wings"

home at dinner

Her well-nppointed table groaned beneath the
ample spread:

a Clear Case of Predestination.

! well remember one fellow, fine
soldier, too, who scorned the burden
of even blanket on march, and so
at night, when he failed to steal one
(Which was seldom), he satup by a fire
and made night hideous with mock
sermons of wonderful theology and
doubtful morality. Strange to say, he
survived the war and is now enlisted in
the army of the Lord. AT Vicksburg
this same preacher was responsible
for a ready retort under trying cir
cumstances He was then n firm Cal
whist, and was always ready to do bat
tie in defense of his creed. One day
he was sitting with group in an an
Gle of the works, discussing his favor
tie dogma of predestination. just
then n shell exploded among them and
knocked the professionalism over with
out hurting him When he recovered
his breath and legs he darted off for
the shelter of traverse just in front
of us. His antagonist yelled at him
and twitted him for want of faith in
his own doctrine. He did not pause
in the order of his going, but suffered
back; "Ca-ca-can't stop; its pre-pre-
predestined that l must get on the
other side of the traverse!' and he full
filled the decree to the letter and with
commendable alacrity. Philadelphia

Says the Nevada (Cal.) Herald: A
gentleman informs US that he noticed
in "A creek near the western boundary
of town, six small boys, ranging in
age from 6 to y years, who were en-
gagged in mining. They had an old
fashioned rocker like the pioneers
used and the way those youngsters
worked would surprise anyone who
has ever noticed the look Of discomfort
that comes over the average boys face
when he is asked to do work around
home. Their counteuances beamed
with satisfaction and dirt, and they
were on the jump. One boy managed
the rocker, another stood knee-deep
in pool and with a long-handled dip
per made of a lard can nailed ON to a
broomstick poured water into the rock
